Getting to the right map

Cudahy and the county around it

Land beyond the city limits toward St. Francis usually follows county rules rather than the town's.
Tax data in the record

Reading the legal description

A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around West Allis. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Oak Creek might lag behind.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Greendale are filed with the Register of Deeds. Long-held tracts around West Allis may sit on several deeds, and a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
